I've gone thru 4 60GB iPods, so you'll probably get one of mine

YEAH, BABY!

OK, that's good to know for library filing. For music player listings, the CDDB (database) shows the title under Teddy Charles, so I'm going with that in iTunes...but I come across this pretty often with no collective band names - just listings of individual players. Hmmm...

My question isn't so much an organizing question as it is just simply a naming question. There are some sides that have no clear leader of the date. If you were to add the following disc, for example, to your music player (or your library), would you use Thad Jones's name 'cause he's listed first, or would you use Teddy Charles 'cause he's the director or would you just use "Various Artists" (or some other creative variant)?

Hey, I agree with Greg on this - cool sounding project - and don't disregard a Sabbath tune. I'm tellin' ya - if you've got the chops and you can fit the sound to the style, then you'll get some attention. For me, tired old standards and "common" tunes getting a well-done makeover makes me as happy as jelly pie! There's already an Indian (Hindi) version (sitar, tabla...) of Sabbath out as well as Sex Pistols and a few other wonderful absurdities (Dead Kennedys, et al.) that leave a lasting impression. Gotta love that Nouvelle Vague for what they do too - "new wave" in English and "bossa nova" in Portuguese - taking popular 80's new wave hits and doin' a Brazilian pop workover to them. Good luck and keep us up to date.

Don't know how many of our non-British members here will know Frank Middlemass's name, but he was a real joy as a wonderful character actor for more than 50 years. Sad to hear he's gone. I remember when the last season of As Time Goes By was shown (after a hiatus) and it featured him in a wheelchair after his character had an accident. I figured then that age had caught up with him.

Yup! Got 'em all thru the house! Don't know what I'd do without them. (probably just put stuff on the floor...)

What do you Telefunken?

Yes, one month. I ordered August 6. Received notification: September 5 Will arrive: Sept 11. Will probably do a rodcast next week.

I watch very little TV, but I remember what I see. I think a lot of TV just goes right by most folks.

Just got back from seeing The Tubes with Fee Waybill and Bill Spooner.

I like the "hip-hop" Verne Troyer one!

How can I subscribe to Weird Satellite radio?

For Bukowski fans, there's The Bukowski Tapes which is kind of a documentary: 4 hours long with 52 clips of him pretty much ranting. I second the Theremin suggestion. A strange love story...

Post #41?

Reminds me a bit of the people who back the Chimp In Charge regardless of what truths are presented to them. Like I've said before: Influence...sampling...chord changes...are one thing - It's quite another to plagiarize another's work and call it your own.

I agree with your comment about the Anthology of American Folk Music, but I think sampling is one thing - stealing (taking credit for music and/or lyrics) is another. With sampling, one's not claiming to have written the song sampled.

Your last name is "Jimmy Carter"?

Does this mean that Funny Rat dies and we now have The Hated Music thread?

Khumalo Jazz star Moses Khumalo found dead Riaan Wolmarans | Johannesburg, South Africa 05 September 2006 02:29 Moses Khumalo One of South Africa's foremost young jazz musicians, saxophonist Moses Khumalo (27), was found dead in his house in Honeydew, west of Johannesburg, on Monday evening, West Rand police said. Police spokesperson Captain Sphiwe Ndlovu told the Mail & Guardian Online on Tuesday that Khumalo's girlfriend, who last saw the musician on Friday, went to check on him as he was not answering his phone. On her arrival, she found his body hanging in the house. Police are investigating a case of suicide, Ndlovu said. Khumalo had not left a suicide note. Marketing and publicity manager Don Khaile, of Khumalo's record company, Sheer Sound, said Khumalo had been living by himself. "The untimely death of Moses Khumalo, or 'Moss' as he was affectionately known to all of us, came as a huge shock," Sheer Sound said in a statement on Tuesday. Born in Meadowlands, Soweto, on January 30 1979, Khumalo completed his matric at Pace Community College and then studied piano at Manu Technical College. In 1995 he took up the saxophone and went on to earn a diploma in music theory, music history and oral (songwriting and ensemble) as well as performance saxophone and piano. His first public performance was at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival in 1995 along with the Soweto Youth Jazz Band. As a member of late jazz pianist Moses Molelekwa's band, Khumalo rose through the ranks of the South African jazz scene, performing both locally and abroad. He shared the stage with stars such as Hugh Masekela, Sibongile Khumalo, Themba Mkhize and Paul Hanmer and played in bands alongside many other renowned South African musicians, including Khaya Mahlangu, Vusi Khumalo and Prince Lengoasa. Before his death, he had been performing as part of Moses Khumalo and Friends at clubs in and around Johannesburg. Brad Holmes, owner of Newtown music venue Bassline, where Khumalo had often performed, said on Tuesday: "I remember him coming on stage with Moses Molelekwa on the day that Basil Coetzee died. A British journalist from the London Times was at the gig, and he wrote an article saying a new Basil Coetzee had been born." Coetzee was another well-known South African saxophonist. He toured and recorded with Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) and died on March 11 1998. Of Khumalo's music, Holmes said that, most importantly for a musician, Khumalo had his own tone. As a composer, musician and songwriter, Khumalo was regarded as one of South Africa's finest developing artists, Sheer Sound said. "His prominence in jazz circles came at an early age and he always had a spark of energy and drive. He defied the myth that this beautiful art form was only meant for the consumption of the very old-timers. His enthusiasm was contagious and his drive had allowed him to come through many tough times," the record company said. His debut recording, Mntungwa, was released in 2002. Allaboutjazz.com described it as "noteworthy jazz under the leadership of a mercurially talented fellow". Mntungwa won Khumalo a South African Music Award for best newcomer. His second and most recent release was Ibuyile (2005), "a fantastically spiced and flavourful Afro-jazz album with pop elements", Sheer Sound said.
